A 5 inch gauge "Dixie" 0-4-0ST, Maxitrak's take on a Kerr, Stuart "Wren" class contractor's locomotive.

A small locomotive in this gauge, its light weight makes handling and transporting an easy one-man operation. We've had a lot of these over the years - they steam freely and can be made to run well, making an ideal introduction to 5 inch gauge live steam for those on a limited budget.

The boiler has had a hydraulic test with new certification issued. The chassis runs on air - rather erratically forwards, not at all in reverse, it will need the valves resetting.

Complete with four wheeled tender housing a water tank, piped up for the injector.
